any condo landlord willing to chip-in?

Hope some experienced rehabbers from the area/state can chip in.

This includes everything from a piece of chipped paint on down.

Carpet holds dirt and stains easily, tile chips and cracks, vinyl can get nicks and cuts, and laminate and real wood are susceptible to water damage.

CA/ILL are so far under water that in comparison San Diego 0-Down homeowners who bought in the summer of 2006 are in the chips.

Dude, just run the merge, and let the chips fall where they may.

When I asked which was best, the lady replied "they're like chocolate chip cookies, each a little different, all delicious."

Karen, Ok, I did see some Refinish Countertop and Tub videos on youtube.I saw the tile countertop being resurfaced to a "concrete or chip" layer after sanding and priming.Will check local Builder warehouses ,overstock and craigslist for stove/dishwasher.Thanks, Rich C

There are designers out there that are relatively inexpensive that help with basic setup AND there are companies like realestatetomato.com that will design the entire thing for you including SEO support.Let us know what you end up doing, we can all chip in along the way :)

They will get chipped, smudged, grease stained, and need repainting every few years.
